Actually, one longitudinal study that did 24 hour test weights several
times during the first year in happily growing breastfed babies did find
that the range for male babies was 28-40 ounces per day.
Of course, some babies ARE grazers, and will take smaller amounts more
often, but in my practice babies that feed infrequently are taking 6-7
oz per feeding, and those that are taking 2 oz per feeding are feeding
12-14 times a day or more.
